Imagine just being able to fire up an inkjet printer and print out perfectly usable glucose test strips. Ah, the money that could be saved, among other things! It may seem off-the-wall strange, but a startup company that began almost three years ...

I sat down one evening recently to relax and watch a favorite political sci-fi thriller on TV, as I do each week in part to unplug from the diabetes world for a bit. You know, as much as you can when you're connected to diabetes devices all the ti...

No one in our diabetes community has to be told that we have a lot of issues with schlepping supplies around. And it's always nice to have ways to personalize our carry options and make them "ours," right?Well, that was notion that hit a fellow ty...

Right before Thanksgiving, Asante Solutions started shipping the first few MySnap insulin pumps to users who ponied up the $99 for the upgrade over the summer. We were able to get our mitts on one of the first for a test drive, and I've been weari...

Last Friday we held the 2014 DiabetesMine Innovation Summit, the fourth of these events we've done at the Stanford University School of Medicine -- which exceeded expectations, if we do say so ourselves ;) This year's Summit was standing-room-onl...
